Perfect villain

The theme of a story is the moral message or lesson of a story. There are many themes in Home Alone and Ransom of Red Chief but the one that stood out to me the most was that the looks of people can be extremely different from their actions. In the story Ransom of Red Chief the story states “The kid was a freckle-faced boy of ten with freckles that stood out. His hair was the color of the cover of the magazine you buy at the newsstand when you want to catch a train. Hey little boy! Says Bill Would

Mr. and Mrs. Frankenstein and the Haunted Castle Once upon a time, there was two super sleuths named Mr. and Mrs. Frankenstein.It was their job to keep the world safe from the bad guys the other superheroes couldn't catch. They weren't always this cool though. Not very long ago, they were wax dummies at a wax museum that had gone out of business. The Frankenstein's were about to be thrown away . Lucky for them , a mad scientist named Drak saw their worth, while he was hunting for a vampires

If a person says, Hey can I have a dollar? and the person they asked gives them a dollar the person who asked said, Thanks you're my lifesaver/hero. Did they actually mean it? Are people really just saying that because they were in a situation where they didn’t have a dollar and got what they wanted or is it literally like I have nothing not even cent’s and you just gave me $1. A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. They

In the book The Road by McCarthy, McCarthy dramatizes the opposition between good and evil however, over all The Road puts forth a positive and uplifting view of humanity. Even though there are multiple parts throughout the book that focus on very dark and pessimistic themes, McCarthy has a way of making the reader see darkness and pessimism a positive and uplifting theme. Scenes in The Road are very graphic and a lot of them put a very vivid image in the reader's head. Good or bad. Not only do the

The Destructors, by Graham Greene Samantha Webber 10/13/17 A villain is someone who commits deplorable actions against others by going out of their way to inflict harm on others. In Destructors by Graham Greene, the character Trevor “T.” is presented as an evil person with malicious intent, and is a villain because he is unsympathetic to others and destroyed someone’s home that meant very much to them. The nature of villainy allows the reader to understand the theme of code of behavior. T

“Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It's a constant struggle as to which one will win.” This quote by Eric Burdon sums up what it’s like to be a morally ambiguous character, and Euripides' Medea is the perfect example of that. Although Medea seems to be a good woman at heart, she struggles with her powerful emotions, and when she acts upon her anger, she seems more like a cold-hearted beast. During this play, the audience is pulled back and forth in trying to decide the true

Its a Doughy Situation Food, the backbone of a community, the foundation on which an empire stands, or even the soulmate of a society. Although I may be straying from the topic, food is technically where this story began. Two brothers, one rich, sucessful, brawny, and has a knack for snacks. The other, sad, closed off, creepy, and not surprising, does not have a knack for snacks or sweets. Two opposites, the story not complete without the other. Now the story would not be complete without one becoming

on others for his safety and well-being. He has a distinct feature that gives him his name, Scar. In the song Be Prepared in the Disney film The Lion King, Scar’s overall actions and the setting and plot of the song distinctly define Scar as the villain because children cannot process complex ideas of good and evil. The environmental aspects of Scar’s lair are mostly dark and frightening allowing children to understand that the environment is not a place to go near. The cave, in general, is dark

Not to mention I could relate with the main character, Charlotte Stirwater, a stubborn, independent, hardworking woman, who looks at the world realistically and logically. Besides her character being relatable, unfortunately I also related to the villain Jack Spinner/Rumpelstiltskin as well. He was just a lost soul looking for justice for his son’s death, and that obsession and hate consumed until he was no longer the same man he was before he died. The themes/lessons in the book that influenced me

In a world that was changed by chaos, The Man remained the same man from the beginning of the novel until the end. Throughout his journey on The Road, The Man’s dedication to the survival of The Boy and never faltered, and stayed constant no matter what life threw at him. The Man ended his expedition on The Road the same man as when he started it. At the beginning of the novel, the reader is introduced to the one defining character trait of The Man: his devotion to his son. This concept is a staple
